There are many seeking asylum in Europe, maybe even in your city.
Many of whom have fled unimaginable situations.
Stories abound of supernatural interventions - motors restarting, survival without water whilst crossing the desert are just two examples.
Throughout their long journeys often the first to offer to help have been followers of Jesus.
Jesus has already been seeking, feeding, pursuing, loving his sheep.
Jesus is already at work in the lives of many asylum seekers whether they acknowledge Him yet or not.
What can I do to join Him in his mission?
Could I teach English, help them to understand their post, go for a coffee together?
Many, many people are lonely and have never set foot in someone else’s home in the UK.
What are you going to do about it?
